Default vlookup left

I would like to use vlookup to look for all the characters at the right of a
column until the (:) sign, (see sample below) I cant use the num_chars
because its not always the same amount of characters after the colon sign
(:)

This is not a LOOKUP nor a VLOOKUP. Check your earlier thread - you
